"We cannot yet see how deliverance will come, or when it will come, but nothing
is more certain than that every trace of Hitler's footsteps, every stain of his infected
and corroding fingers, will be sponged and purged and, if need be, blasted from the
surface of the earth." - Winston Churchill

I certainly wish Churchill had been right, but
look about you and you will see that he was not! And if you cannot see
now, you will see in the very near future! The evil of Josef Stalin was no
less than that of Adolph Hitler: the number of Jews murdered at Stalin's command
was equivalent to the number of Jews murdered at Hitler's command, six million
each! and the number of christians murdered at Stalin's command exceeded that
murdered at Hitler's command, again six million (plus); and if the evil wrought by all communist
regimes, including those of Mao tse-dung, Pol-Pot, Ho Chi-Minh,...were to be combined, it would be utterly overwhelming. Still, the evil
of the very last evil world regime, which is near to rise, will overshadow all
that have preceded it! Again, the time of the rise of Satan's world regime
is very near at hand!

Adolph Hitler

There is worse to come, believe it or
not, much worse, i.e., the Last
Reich of the un"Holy" Roman Empire, the last act of the
"Grecian" Empire!

And while Churchill was a considerable historian, a tremendous British
statesman, and a true British patriot and hero, a giant of the Twentieth Century (nonetheless a
very flawed one*), and familiar with the contents of the Holy Bible, he was nonetheless, clearly lacking
with respect to (wrt) understanding of GOD's Word, for the
evil represented and personified by Adolph Hitler has not been expunged nor purged from
this earth, it is with us today, and will be manifest in its most horribly
terrible representation before it is finally removed from this earth at
the end of the millennial reign of Jesus CHRIST when Satan shall be loosed from the
bottomless pit, and permitted to go forth to gather as many of the people populating the
earth to join him in waging war against the Lord Jesus as he can. Then fire will come down from
heaven, destroying all whom have joined Satan in going to war against Jesus Christ; Satan
will be cast into the lake of fire and brimstone (where the false prophet and beast will
have already been for 1,000 years), and all of the living and dead will be resurrected and
will be judged, with the result that all who have resisted, rejected, and refused the LORD Jesus Christ
will be cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, there to suffer forever.

{*Churchill's larger than life failures may be seen in his active
acquiescence with Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman (due to
Britain's lack of military might compared to the US & USSR) in yielding all of Eastern
Europe to be monstrously enslaved and destroyed by Josef Stalin's satanic
communist regime (the USSR), which did not come one whit behind Hitler's in wickedness, ferocity, hatred of
GOD, of Jesus Christ, and of all who are the LORD's, including those whom the LORD has
called, e.g., the Jews. Churchill was turned out of office mere weeks
after Victory in Europe Day (VE Day), in a special election called by the Labor
Party, by the British people who blindly imagined that he would continue as
Prime Minister while they elected the Labor Party to power by a so-called
"landslide," this following Churchill's having led
Britain to victory & thus survival in WWII. Yet years later when he finally
had been returned to office, Churchill outrageously continued the British policy (which he had
previously opposed) of shamefully betraying Israel and those Hebrew people
who had survived Hitler's & Stalin's "final solution" (which they
survived thanks only to God's miraculous intervention)!}

The Nazi 'glory'?*

* For those who will incorrectly conclude that
the editor is stating that the Nazis were responsible for erecting the Brandenburg
Gate...permit me to clarify - these structures preceded the Nazi Reich, however
they were gloried in by the Nazi high command as one spectacular example of the
magnificence of the Nazis, of their Aryan forbearers, & of their "Third
Reich" regime.

The Nazi Reality!

The planned and executed savage extermination of all of the Jewish people in all lands
conquered by the Nazis, to attempt to eradicate Jewry from off the face of the earth, and thus to prevent the fulfillment of God's promises
to the Jews, for the Jews, and for the world's peoples through the Jews!

More Testimony to The Nazi Reality!

IT MUST NEVER BE PERMITTED TO HAPPEN AGAIN!;

except, of course, by the
Socialists/Fascists/Communists/Marxists
& the Islamist or Islamo-fascist totalitarian regimes, whenever and wherever they have seized
power (aka command & control), continuing unabated
until the Lord returns!

Branding Time!

Revelation 13:16-18 "And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath
understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and
his number is Six hundred threescore and six."

These cattle have no choice, but we sinful people will have a choice as
to whether we will receive the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of
his name, which number
is Six hundred three score and six (aka 666).

For those people who yield and receive the mark, or the name
of the beast,
or the number of his name, to save their lives, there is no forgiveness now nor ever shall be,
but only eternal damnation according to GOD's Word in His Holy Bible. No
forgiveness now nor ever, even for those people 'whose heart is in the right place' or who are
refusing in their heart of hearts to receive the mark, or number, or name of the Beast
(even for those who are "once saved, always saved," & "eternally
secure"!). This may sound exceedingly harsh, but it is the word of God! For more regarding this see Thus Saith The Lord!

It will be a tough choice to refuse the seal of ownership of
the Beast,
as it will mean being executed by the Beast, but given the consequence of receiving
Satan's badge of ownership, that is, eternal damnation, the choice will be a painfully simple, if excruciatingly difficult, one!

Can you imagine that any people who have paid to have their
bodies desecrated with tattoos, aka "ink," will suffer death rather than receiving the mark,
or name, or number of the Beast?! No, I can't either. And unlike
yesteryear, now many women have tattoos, and not just the poor young women who
are enslaved by pimps and branded by their slavers! You know the ad line, "I bet you can't eat just one!" How many of the girls and young women and women who receive a little butterfly tattoo on their ankle, shoulder, or just above their bottoms, will stop there and never get any more tattoos?

How many people who have received a micro-chip implant* under their skin at the urging of their employers or their governments will refuse the mark, or name, or number of the beast, when refusal to receive such will cost them their lives?! I expect no such people will refuse.

* The latest such chip implants are said to be smaller than a grain of rice, and as of 2015 are actually being promoted by various companies to their employees; such "encouragement" to submit to being "micro-chipped" will be coming our way soon, so very soon! This "coming attraction," that is, voluntary micro-chippingis a precursor or forerunner, that is, a preparation for the mandatory "branding" that is to follow. Yes, time is short!

Human Rights secured and guaranteed by the United Nations
(the U.N.), courtesy of dedicated socialists FDR & Eleanor Roosevelt,
with help from socialist communist dictator "Uncle Joe" Stalin;

building upon the assured destruction foundation
ironically laid by blind leader-peacenik Woodrow Wilson in the League of Nations at Versailles!

While there is more than one possibility for the
composition of the world-enslaving dictatorship which will control and destroy the
entire earth in the near future, the
United Nations meets many criteria, and should very seriously be considered as the
most likely contender for the instrument or vehicle to be used by Satan to accomplish his
evil ends, or at the very least as a very active participant in the greatly evil scheme to take
over and destroy the entire world (which God's Word states will succeed). But whether the UN is the
instrument or not, the last world-destroying evil regime will absolutely be the last
vestige of the Empire regime that Alexander the Great founded (thanks to his
father Philip II of Macedon's tactical military advances...), the Macedonian
Empire, aka the Macedonian-Grecian Empire, aka the Grecian Empire, which was
supplanted by the Roman Empire, and may rightly be considered to be the Macedonian-Grecian-Roman Empire,
or the Greco-Roman Empire (aka the Roman Empire, and the "Holy Roman
Empire").

My choices for the name of the Fourth Reich World-Enslavement Empire are Olympia/Olympias, Vaticus,
Romia and Roma Pira:

Olympia would
be in keeping with the Olympic Games (perhaps those benevolent, world-peace
and good will 'games' figure prominently in Satan's scheme, as they did
at the Summer Olympic Games in Munich, Germany in 1972); Olympia also harkens
back to Olympus & Olympia, Greece (as with the Summer games of 2004 held in Athens, Greece).
Olympias was the name of the mother of Alexander the Great (the Macedonian
King who, following his father Philip II's untimely death via assassination, so vastly, enormously
expanded the Macedonian Kingdom, creating the Macedonian Empire, referred to
by God as the Grecian Empire, which would morph into the Roman
Empire). Olympias was a cunning, ruthless, power-happy woman who:
apparently had her husband's eldest son and heir Arrhidaeus [later to be called Philip III after his
father] (who was born by Philip II's first wife), poisoned
rendering him an imbecile given to fits of rage; apparently had her husband Philip
II assassinated as soon as her son Alexander was 20 years of age and capable of
seizing and leading the Kingdom; had her husband Philip's youngest wife and child murdered when Alexander took the
Kingdom; later had Philip III murdered and his teenage wife Adea/Eurydice
(who was of royal lineage) murdered via forcing her to commit suicide; yes,
Olympias was quite the woman, she had "the right stuff" to become the first
woman President of the USA!
Alexander "the Great" inherited his father Philip's brilliance, power, and courageous
leadership, and his mother's scheming, treacherous, murderous ways, as he proved
throughout the next 13 years.

The scriptures contained in this chapter are collected
from The Book of Daniel, in the section of the Prophets, in the Tanach, i.e.,
the Old Testament of the Holy Bible; The
Second Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Thessalonians (also known as, aka, II
Thessalonians), and The Revelation of St. John The Divine (aka Revelation).

Scriptures from II Thessalonians are included to demonstrate that the prophesies in the book of
Daniel were not fulfilled prior to Paul's martyrdom, nor have yet been
fulfilled, though assuredly these prophecies will be fulfilled in the near
future; some purportedly "learned" theologians' claims that these prophecies were fulfilled during the 1st Century
A.D. notwithstanding.

Back to the
"anti-christ."

Babylon anyone?

Daniel 2:40-43

And the fourth kingdom [or Reich?] shall be strong as iron: forasmuch as iron breaketh
in pieces and subdueth all things: and as iron that breaketh all these, shall it break in
pieces and bruise. And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters clay, and
part of iron, the kingdom shall be divided; but there shall be in it of the strength of
the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay. And as the toes of the
feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be partly strong, and
partly broken. And whereas thou sawest iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle
themselves with the seed of men; but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron is
not mixed with clay.

Daniel 7:2-6

Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold,
the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea. And four great
beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another. The first was like
a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked,
and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon the feet as a man, and
a man's heart was given to it. And behold another beast, a second, like
to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the
mouth of it between the teeth of it: and they said thus unto it, Arise, devour
much flesh. After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard,
which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four
heads; and dominion was given to it.

Daniel 7:7-8

After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a
fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured
and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet
of it; and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it;
and it had ten horns. I considered the horns, and
behold, there came up among them another little horn, before
whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold,in this horn were eyes like the
eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.

Daniel 7:17

These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall
arise out of the earth.

Daniel 7:19-25

Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast,
which wasdiverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful,
whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake
in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet; And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of
the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose
look was more stout than his fellows.

I beheld, and the same horn made war with the
saints, and prevailed against them; Until the Ancient of days came, and
judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints
possessed the kingdom.

Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be
the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all
kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and
shall tread it down, andbreak it in
pieces. And the ten horns out of this kingdom
are ten kings that shall arise; and another shall rise
after them; and he shall be diverse from the first,
and he shall subdue three kings. And he
shall speak great words against the most High, and shall
wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change
times and laws; and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times
and the dividing of time.

But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to
consume and to destroy it unto the end.

Daniel 8:3-4

Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood
before the river a ram which had two horns: and the two horns were high; but one
was higher than the other, and the higher came up last. I saw the ram
pushing westward, and northward, and southward; so that no beasts might stand
before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did
according to his will, and became great.

Daniel 8:5-14

And as I was considering, behold, an he goat came from the west on the
face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground;and
the goat had a notable horn between his eyes. And he came to the ram that had two horns,
which I had seen standing before the river, and ran unto him in the fury of his power.
And
I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with choler against him, and smote the
ram, and brake his two horns; and there was no power in the ram to stand before him, but
he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him: and there was none that could
deliver the ram out of his hand.

Therefore, the he goat waxed very great: and when he was strong, the great
horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of
heaven.

Andout of one of them came forth a little
horn, which waxed exceeding great toward the south, and
toward the east, and toward the pleasant land,* And it waxed great
even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the
host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them. Yea, hemagnified himself, even to the prince of the host, and
by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was
cast down. And an host was given him against the daily
sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the
truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.

Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain
saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the
transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under
foot? And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days;
then shall the
sanctuary be cleansed.

Daniel 8:16-25

And I heard a man's voice between the banks of Ulai, which called, and
said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision. So he came near where I stood: and
when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son
of man: for at the time of the end shall be the vision.

Now as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep on my face
toward the ground: but he touched me, and set me upright. And he said, Behold, I will make thee knowwhat shall be in the last
end of the indignation: for at the time appointed the end shall be.

The ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media and
Persia. And the rough goat is the king of Grecia: and the great horn that is
between his eyes is the first king.** Now that being broken, whereas
four stood up for it, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his
power.***

And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are
come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding
dark sentences, shall stand up. And his power shall be
mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall
prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and
the holy people, And through his policy also he shall
cause craft to prosper in his hand: and he shall magnify
himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also
stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall
be broken without hand.

Daniel 9:26-27

...:and the people of the prince that shall come shall
destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood,
and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.
And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one
week; and in
the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for
the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the
consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

* This indicates that the home base or base of operations of the "little horn," the anti-christ, is located to the northwest of Israel, such as in the UK, Europe, Scandinavia...with perhaps the most notable sites being in the countries of England, Belgium, Germany, Italy, and Greece; notwithstanding the facts that far and away the most ominous threats are from Putin's Russian regime and the Communist Chinese regime, with the most obvious current menace being that from Islamists around the globe, everywhere that Islam tyrannizes, terrorizes, and destroys.

** Alexander the Great.

*** Following Alexander's death the
generals/bodyguards who would strive for the mastery of his empire would never approach the greatness of his
power and empire; even the (Greco-)Roman Empire that eventually
supplanted his Macedonian Empire (despite the Roman Empire's vastness, power,
and riches...), would remarkably never
attain to the power and greatness of Alexander's Macedonian Empire, aka the Grecian Empire!

With leadership like this, what could possibly go wrong?

This is provided to illustrate - vile with style
leadership (though only stylish when in public view); it is not
specifically intended to identify the person of the antichrist, as this is
likely merely an extremely talented, skillful, deceitful, shrewd, cunning, ruthless,
devastatingly destructive wanna-be team. And then again who knows, he sure bears an
uncanny resemblance to as sadistic a torturer and destroyer of God's children as this
world has ever seen, his spitting image, Nero Caesar! But in any case, Billy Boy is very
definitely a bully.

Charm offensive from the "Bully Pulpit" anyone?

[Daniel 11:2-20 is provided at the end of the page.]

Daniel 11:21-45

And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not
give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come
in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
And with the arms of a flood shall they be
overflown from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the
covenant.

And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully: for
he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people. He shall enter peaceably
even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his
fathers have
not done, nor his fathers' fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and
riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time.
And he shall stir up his power and courage against the king of the south with a great
army: and the king of the south shall be stirred up to battle with a very great and mighty
army; but he shall not stand: for they shall forecast devices against him.

Yea, they that feed of the portion of his meat shall destroy him, and his
army shall overflow: and many shall fall down slain. And both these kings' hearts shall
be to do mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table: but it shall not prosper
for yet the end shall be at the time appointed. Then shall he return into his land with
great riches; and his heart shall be against the holy covenant; and he shall do exploits,
and return to his own land.

At the time appointed he shall return, and come toward the south; but it
shall not be as the former, or as the latter. For the ships of Chittim shall come against
him: therefore he shall be grieved, and return, and have indignation against the holy
covenant: so shall he do; he shall even return, and have intelligence with them
that forsake the holy covenant. And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily
sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate.

And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by
flatteries:but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do
exploits. And they that understand among the people shall instruct
many: yet
they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days.
Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall
cleave to them with flatteries. And some of them of understanding shall fall, to
try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because
it is yet for a time appointed.

And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt
himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against
the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that
is determined shall be done.

Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women,
nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all. But in his estate shall
he honour the God of forces; and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold
and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things. Thus shall he do in the most
strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he
shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain.

And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and
the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with
horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow
and pass over. He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be
overthrown: but these shall escape out of hand, even Edom,* and Moab,* and the chief of the
children of Ammon.* He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt
shall not escape. But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and
over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his
steps.

But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble
him:**
therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many.
And
he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy
mountain: yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.

* Amazingly, God's Word says that of all the people on the
earth, the 'children' of Esau and Lot shall escape, peoples that God had
previously condemned for their treachery and violence toward the Hebrews..

**I can imagine that say
Vladimir Putin {whom I think is a virtual dead ringer for Augustus Caesar} would be incensed over loss
of control in "mother" Russia, and of other nations he controls.

Augustus Caesar

[I know this looks like Vladimir Putin, but it really is
Augustus Caesar, honestly! Surely any resemblance must be purely
coincidental, just like the striking resemblance of Bill Clinton to Nero Caesar!
apologies, I do not have a picture of Nero available at this time. Kindly
do not make the mistake of imagining that I attribute such resemblances to
so-called "cloning," I don't, but who knows really, Satan's servants
are capable of myriad evils after all. No, I attribute these astonishing
similarities to simple genetics, nothing so artificial as "cloning!"]

Julius Caesar

The Little General, Napoleon Bonaparte

A rogues gallery of likenesses of antichrist wannabes from
'yesteryear' (regrettably minus a likeness of Nero Caesar); the real
antichrist of antichrists will have some features in common with these talented,
brilliant, skillful, narcissistic, self-worshipping, murderous, ruthlessly destructive leaders, and will succeed in
subjugating and enslaving virtually all the peoples of the world, and destroying the world for
approximately seven years, before being routed, overthrown, and destroyed, by
the coming King of kings, and Lord of lords, the Son of God, and His heavenly
host.

II Thessalonians 2:1-12

Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus
Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, That ye be not soon shaken in
mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us,
as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any
means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and
that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; Who opposeth and
exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so
that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

Remember ye not, that when I was yet with you, I told you these
things? And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in
his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who
now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And
then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with
the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs
and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that
perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be
saved.

And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that
they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the
truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Revelation 12:17

And the dragon was wroth
with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of GOD, and have the testimony of JESUS CHRIST.

Revelation 13:1-17

And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a
beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten
crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. And the beast which I saw was
like
unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a
lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.

And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to
death: and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
And
they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast,
saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?

And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great
things and blasphemies: and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
And
he opened his mouth in blasphemy against GOD, to blaspheme His name, and His tabernacle,
and them that dwell in heaven.

And it was given unto him
to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all
kindreds, and tongues, and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him,
whose names are not written in the Book of Life of the LAMB slain from the foundation of
the world.

If any man have an ear, let him hear.
He that
leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be
killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.

And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had
two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the
first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell
therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire
come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. And deceiveth them that dwell on
the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the
beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the
beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.*

And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast,
that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the
image of the beast should be killed.

And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and
poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And
that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the
number of his name.

Revelation 13:18

Here is wisdom. Let him that hath
understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a
man: and his
number is Six hundred threescore and six.

Revelation 17:1-18

And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and
talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of
the
great whore that sitteth upon many waters:With whom the kings of the earth have
committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine
of her fornication.

So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman
sit upon a scarlet coloured beast full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten
horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and
precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and
filthiness of her fornication:

And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT
THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the
saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her I
wondered with great admiration. And the angel said unto me, Wherefore didst thou marvel?
I
will tell thee the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carrieth her, which hath the
seven heads and ten horns.

The beast that thou sawest was, and is not: and shall ascend out of the
bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall
wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world
when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.

And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven
mountains on which the woman sitteth. And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one
is and the other is not yet come: And when he cometh he must continue a short
space.
And the
beast that was and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into
perdition.

And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have
received no kingdom as yet: but receive power as kings one hour with the beast.
These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.

These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb
shall overcome them; for he is, Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that
are with him, are called, and chosen, and faithful. And he saith unto me, The
waters which thou sawest where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and
nations, and tongues.

And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the
whore, and shall make her desolate, and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with
fire. For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their
kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.

And the woman which thou sawest is that great
city, which reigneth over
the kings of the earth.

* Satan will cause sinful, lost, damned people to
make an image to the beast, which he then will bring to life and use to destroy
all who will not worship it; only true followers of Jesus will refuse to worship the
image of the beast.

Revelation 19:19-21

And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies,
gathered together to make war against HIM that sat on the horse, and against His army.

And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought
miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast,
and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a
lake of fire burning with brimstone. And the remnant were slain with the sword of HIM that
sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of His mouth: and all the fowls were filled
with their flesh.

Revelation 20:1-3

And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having
the key of the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. And he laid hold on the
dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,
And cast him into the bottomless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he
should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fulfilled: and after
that he must be loosed a little season.

Revelation 20:7-10

And when the thousand years are expired, Satan
shall be loosed out of his prison, And shall go out to deceive the nations which are in
the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle: the
number of whom is as the sand of the sea.

And they went up on the breadth of the earth, and
compassed the camp of the saints about, and the beloved city: and fire came down from GOD
out of heaven, and devoured them. And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake
of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented
day and night for ever and ever.

Daniel 11:2-20

And now will I shew thee the truth. Behold, there shall
stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than they
all: and by his strength through his riches he shall stir up all against the
realm of Grecia. And a mighty king* shall stand up, that shall rule with
great dominion, and do according to his will. And when he shall stand up,
his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of
heaven; and not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion which he ruled:
for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others beside those.

And the king of the south shall be strong, and one of his
princes; and he [the king of the north] shall be strong above him, and have
dominion; his dominion shall be a great dominion. And in the end of years
they shall join themselves together; for the king's daughter of the south shall
come to the king of the north to make an agreement: but she shall not retain the
power of the arm; neither shall he [the king of the south] stand, nor his arm:
but she shall be given up, and they that brought her, and he that begat her, and
he that strengthened her in these times.

But out of a branch of her roots shall [the king's daughter of
the south] one stand up in his
estate, which shall come with an army, and shall enter into the fortress of the
king of the north, and shall deal against them, and shall prevail; And shall
also carry captives into Egypt their gods, with their princes, and with their
precious vessels of silver and of gold; and he [the king of the south] shall
continue more years than the king of the north. So the king of the south
shall come into his [the king of the north's] kingdom, and shall return into his
own land.

But his [the king of the north's] sons shall be stirred up, and
shall assemble a multitude of great forces: and one shall certainly come [to the
kingdom of the south], and overflow, and pass through: then shall he return, and
be stirred up, even to his fortress.

And the king of the south shall be moved with choler, and shall
come forth and fight with him, even with the king of the north: and he [the king
of the north] shall set forth a great multitude; but the multitude shall be
given into his hand [that of the king of the south]. And when he [the king
of the south] hath taken away the multitude, his heart shall be lifted up; and
he shall cast down many ten thousands: but he shall not be strengthened by it.

For the king of the north shall return, and shall set forth a
multitude greater than the former, and shall certainly come after certain years
with a great army and with much riches. And in those times there shall
many stand up against the king of the south: also the robbers of thy people
shall exalt themselves to establish the vision; but they [the robbers of thy
people] shall fall. So the king of the north shall come, and cast up a
mount, and take the most fenced cities: and the arms of the south shall not
withstand, neither his [the king of the south's] chosen people, neither shall
there be any strength to withstand. But he [the king of the north] that
cometh against him [the king of the south] shall do according to his own will,
and none shall stand before him: and he shall stand in the glorious land
[Israel], which by his hand shall be consumed. He shall also set his face
to enter with the strength of his whole kingdom, and upright ones with him; thus
shall he do: and he [?] shall give him [the king of the north] the daughter of
women, corrupting her: but she shall not stand on his side, neither be for him
[the king of the north].

After this shall he turn his face unto the isles, and shall take
many: but a prince for his own behalf shall cause the reproach offered by him to
cease; without his own reproach he shall cause it to turn upon him. Then
he shall turn his face toward the fort of his own land: but he shall stumble and
fall, and not be found.

Then shall stand up in his estate a raiser of taxes in the glory
of the kingdom: but within few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor
in battle.

* Alexander the Great.

[So after the arrival of the Dragon (that Old Serpent, Satan, the Devil), but
before the rise of the antichrist, aka the coming of the Beast, the False
Prophet, and the Image of the Beast, shall be the rise of 10 kings.
Rather than looking for the antichrist, and trying to guess who he may be,
perhaps it would be more advisable to watch for the rising of the 10 kings who
will jointly rule the world, with three of those kings falling at the hands of
the antichrist shortly after their arrival on the world stage. The Dragon
(Satan), through the antichrist, also known as (aka) the little horn, which rules the Beast,
aka the eighth king which is of the seven (these great kings, which were
the heads, are not to be confused with the lesser ten kings, three of which will
be uprooted by the little horn king), aka the Beast, the False Prophet, and the Image of the
Beast, (and all those who will serve Satan) will enslave the world's peoples and murder
all who will not worship him, and he will destroy the world (for Satan came only
to steal, to murder, and to destroy)!]
